Description

The Creeping Lace Vine ( Episcia dianthiflora ) is a delicate trailing plant, perfect for terrariums and vivariums. Known for its fine, lace-like foliage and small, creeping growth habit, it makes an excellent ground cover or trailing accent over wood and rocks.

This species thrives in warm, humid conditions with bright, indirect light. It prefers a consistently moist but well-draining substrate, and in a terrarium environment it will naturally spread to fill gaps and soften hardscape features.

With its graceful vines, fine-textured leaves, and adaptability, the Creeping Lace Vine is an excellent choice for terrarium enthusiasts looking to add a natural, cascading plant that enhances both bioactive function and aesthetic appeal.
